A straight-to-the-device mentality doesn't work well if you don't have a Kobo device. That would be a rather stupid move on their part.

I thought that according to their website they won't do that, but re-reading it looks like they are saying they want their devices to be used with content purchased anywhere. So they want you to buy their devices and not their content? And if you don't have a Kobo device don't buy Kobo content?

Open Platform
Kobo believes people should be able to read on their terms. Our open platform, which supports the most popular formats, including EPUB, EPUB3 and PDF, allows readers to buy and read digital content from a variety of sources.
